Sh*t Happens: The Book
by Deborah Lazarus
The lure of the morbid. The fascination of really bad news. The strange thrill of things going spectacularly wrong. Tragic, sensational, spine-chilling, and addictively entertaining, it’s The Darwin Awards meets The Stupidest Things Ever Said. In story after story we meet the star-crossed, the extremely unlucky, and the fatally foolish. Sure—it’s grim, sometimes ghastly. But isn’t it nice to know that someone, somewhere, had a worse day than you?
Sh*t happens.
Sometimes it’s natural: A driver goes for the ride of his life when a 100-mph gust blows his truck off the Verrazano Narrows Bridge in New York. (He survives the steep plunge into
the Hudson River.
Sometimes it’s supernatural: The woman who peels an artichoke only to have it explode
in her hand.
Short-sighted: A rattlesnake owner kisses his beloved pet, and discovers that the
affection isn’t mutual.
Delightful, Heartbreaking, Gross and grosser...
...and even, seemingly, cosmic justice: An incensed homeowner catches a mouse and decides to teach it a lesson by tying a kerosene-soaked rag to its tail and setting it on fire. The mouse flees; the man’s house burns down.

Sky Pilot of
the Great Lakes
John Kotzian
The Reverend Law was in peril on the Great Lakes and was rescued by a U.S. Life-Saving Service Station crew. As a result of that rescue, seeing their heroic efforts first hand, Reverend Law dedicated the rest of his life to the men and women stationed at Light and Life-Saving stations throughout the United States.
"Sky Pilot" was sailors' slang for a chaplain. To the men and women he served, Reverend Law was lovingly known as "The Sky Pilot of the Great Lakes." A tale of unconquerable optimism, the story of W. H. Law's life is as much the account of the brave men and women of the Lighthouse Service and Life-Saving Service as it is the saga of a long and rewarding life in the service of others.

Living
on Sisu
The 1913 Union Copper Strike Tragedy |
To twelve-year-old
Emma, life may be hard, but it is basically good. She has
finished sixth grade and is nearly a young lady. But, in
the summer of 1913, her life, and the lives of everyone
in the region, will be changed forever by a violent strike
against the mining companies in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan.
A friend whose father is not on strike will be forbidden
to talk to her. Another will die in the terrible Italian
Hall Tragedy on Christmas Eve. Only the trait the Finnish
people call "sisu" will help her and others in
the region live through it.
This well-researched historical fiction takes place
in Houghton County, Michigan, in the towns of Calumet, Houghton,
Hancock, Laurium and the surrounding area. It is written
from the point of view of a twelve-year-old girl whose father
is on strike. The first-person narrative puts the reader
on the scene. Historical photographs help the reader see
the time and place.. 238 pages.

River of Iron
David Lee
HEMATITE AND TALES of streets paved with gold drew boatloads of Europeans to the Marquette Iron Range in Michigan's Upper Peninsula in the late 1800s-including my ancestors. The rugged terrain and savage winters of their new home on the "mountain of iron" threatened their survival, yet they had no chance of returning to The Old County-and they knew it. Some left, but the hardy ones stayed, threw up mining camps and drove mineshafts deep into the granite. They raised families-built churches, railroads, and schools-they created a river of iron that cascaded out of the wilderness. Then the Great Depression struck in 1929 and the river of iron dwindled to a trickle. Without means of support the iron miners and their families persevered against a destroyed economy and fierce winters. This is a tale of how my family survived those tough times. It tells of simple things like collecting water, chopping firewood, and slaughtering hogs, but it is also a template for raising and educating a family on challenging terrain in the midst of poverty.
